For a few days a speak with a friend from me.And we talking about a tournament that we played and win.We sitting by him and we play a tournament and discuss every hand what we do,raise,bet,fold and so on. He goes in the kitchen to bring some drinks and we got aces.I'm shouting kevin come on we got aces what we do,he shout back what we have for a position,I tell him and ask how much we want raise,he come we discuss,I want make the raise,but in this moment the clock shows zero and we folded the aces preflop.We look to each other and saying omg what the f**k we have done. But in the end we Win the tournament and got over 1200$. So we got the insider joke,how to win a tournament? You must fold the aces prefold to win a tournament

This is a very good one having to fold AA preflop to win a tournament. Its maybe right just today i lost twice having AA so nex time i will maybe take your way of playing the aces. Anyway i congratulate you and your friend for winning a nice tournament with a big pay out and wish you win many more like this.

First of all congratulations to winning 1.200 Dollars. That is quite a lot and way more than I have earned in my whole life in Poker. And maybe you are right with the AA fold. If you played them you might have lost all chips against a straight or a flush.

today I played BRM freeroll on pokerstar, and I was doing preaty well, I got aces, and I raise 5BB blinds were 100/200 and i got one caller, than smaller stuck shove, and one more small stack shove, and I say to myself damn it i go all in so i reshove all of them, and player that called me first time calls again... one of all in players had KQ other AK, and flop was 466 turn 4 and river 8, with 3 dimonds, and caller had T9 dimond... we were having almoust same stack, he got half blind more than me and he took massive pot, with calling all in on 3 players with T9 suited... I didnt get upset, because its freeroll... if it was some big tournament or even cash game I think I would fold those acess when I got 2 shove before me and potentional 4th... because aces does lose in 4 way all in

Today on a cash table I had QQ pre flop and hit a Q on the flop....understand why the guy next to me calls he had 22 and hit a 2 on the flop....we played the shoving match and to my excitement I had him until the dreadful river....another 2, what are the damn odds. For the first time in my life I did not bitch or curse at the guy!
He said sorry didn't even laugh like most of the retards usually do!

Yes congratulations mate good work and yeah when you have friend and brain store ideas sometimes you do too much and ends up wasting time but who knows what will happen as the future is uncertain, you might have won that AA hand but lost the next one and you folded this time and thus you win, meh too much drama, anyway good luck at the tables do tell us more of the stories always fun to hear and see cheers!
